Example notebooks to accompany Becoming a Spatial Data Scientist.

The notebooks in this repository use a ready-to-run Docker image containing Jupyter applications and interactive computing tools. To run the notebooks, please follow the instructions below.

1. Clone this repository

$ git clone [email protected]:CartoDB/data-science-book.git
$ cd data-science-book

2. Download and install docker. Follow instructions here: https://docs.docker.com/install/

3. Run the image. Open your terminal and run

$ docker run --user root -p 8888:8888 -e JUPYTER_ENABLE_LAB=yes -e GRANT_SUDO=yes -v "$PWD":/home/jovyan/workspace cartodb/data-science-book

A local address will be created. Copy and paste the address in your browser, this will launch Jupyter Lab. Note: If you have another Jupyter server running, make sure it's on a different port than 8888. Otherwise change the port number above or close down the other notebook server.

4. Start experimenting with the code in each of the Chapter directories
